[Houston Valiant]

Frustrating ti listen to.Come on Vale.

[Lady_Vale]

What a nightmare! If only we'd scored that penalty

[Houston Valiant]

All over now . ****!!!

[CambridgeDon]

Doh!!!!

 

Game over - think we're still finding our feet and looks like we don't know our best line up

[mickyferns]

It may be time to drop Pope, his confidence is low and it sounds like Vale are playing with 10 ten with him in the team. Im confident he can get his mojo back but at the moment we have got better on the bench.

 

whats the ground like ? good view ?

Ok im not at the ground but Pope been mentioned once on the radio and thats when he gave the ball away on the half way line for the second goal. We love Popey but nobody is bigger than then the club but he's been terrible so far this season. Like I say I think he will be back but if if a player isnt performing he loses his place simple as.

It's starting to look a poor start to the season including cups. 1 win 1 draw 3 defeats.

 

Need to find a way to beat Wolves.

I don't think we have better on the bench though that's the problem. Its a difficult one because to get him into form he needs to play.

Possibly but how long do you stick with him? Williamson is young, hungry, quick and knows where the goal is.

Bradford 2 up against sheff utd. Wells with both. Can see someone coming in for him before transfer deadline

I'm not convinced with Williamson. He has pace, not much in the way of strength and isn't a natural goal-scorer. Are you saying go with Hughes and Williamson then?

It's a certainty - just broken club record with 9 goals in 8 games

[Lady_Vale]

I think Vale packed it in after the 3rd then? Haven't heard us mentioned.

[Emile]

I'm here, we have been dreadful in the second half.

Pope has been poor, but Ben has done nothing since coming on. Don't know if dropping Tom is the option.

Or before. Stats say 1 shot this half off target. It will be interesting to get comments from those at the game.
